My ex-wife and I have an acrimonious relationship, and this affecting the children’s relationship with me.
I have asked her to attend mediation, but she has said that she won’t attend as this will not change the children’s views on me. How can I explain in a positive/constructive manner that the point of mediation is to resolve conflict, as the children are picking up on her negative views and adopting them as their own?
My ex was the same and mediation was just her rolling her eyes for an hour . Waste of Time and money . Better off doing a separated parents thing although she’d prob not go to that either . Think you’re best off just trying to avoid conflict with the ex . Ignore her [censored] basically .
